I F***ing Love Heavy Mids. Mine are always maxxed out. Jorn's axeman Tore Østby sounds phenomenal. No scooped-out mids in this tone!!!!!

My DSL's are always the subject of mid complaints...ask @Mitch Pearrow SJMP
The Electro-Harmonix 12VR75 has a lot to do with my mid presence...

That's good to hear. Every Marshall I have owned was pretty scooped-sounding.
OP
I don't dig that tone. It tends to get quickly lost in a mix...
My Marshall experience has been every thing but mid scooped.
But Mesa pulls it off quite well, I don’t think I am getting it backwards, a guy I knew backin the early 90’s was using a Mesa, the other guitarist was on a Marshall.
I could always hear the Marshall no problem, the Mesa was like filler..
Cheers Mitch

I do love the sound of a good Marshall but I always have to pump up the mids, usually with a Tube Screamer or something similar. With the Mesas, it's all big, fat midrange, to the point that I end up usually scooping a bunch out with the EQ.

My experience is polar opposite. I ended up with the Mesas because the never get lost in a mix.

Marshall are the most mid forward amp i ever experienced.. when you are a lead player..its just there right on top a P bass...you can even see it on the graph eq wise in the studio,,,,add a V30 & you can slice anything...6l6 amps are the mid scooped ones in my observations over the years & without much EQ change candepend on that for Rythym to drop the singer right in the pocket. At home experimanting..seems fender is getting the rythym & marshall right on top that..not much mixing to do at all..now if i can just learn to get vocals a lil bettter.

Why haven't I heard of Jorn before??! That guitar tone brings me back to like, a No Rest For the Wicked/early Zakk type sound. Big, ballsy, and takin' no prisoners...I dig.
Jorn Lande is a Metal God. Tony Iommi hired him to stand in for Dio after Ronnie passed...

It's all in the way they're set. Sure, Marshall cut is often strongest in the upper mids, and Boogies tend to have a natural fatness in the low mids.
But when scooped tone was all the rage, both could be made to sound that way.
I wasn’t playing during those times, so I missed all of that
